The poetess opens
like a book
bound in silk
with florets in the margins
and gold-edged pages turning
.
and turning
with every breath
of the Muse
reading over
her shoulder.

Melt into its bark –
each loved tree will fold you in,
lift you to the sky.

Thanks to everyone who reads my blog, and for your kind comments.
I’ll continue to be scarce for a little while as we are selling our house, packing, cleaning, lamenting…. Hoping to take my elm trees with me.
Will still try to post and read blogs now and then – looking forward to the day when things get back to “normal”!
